PartyPoker: 4.5 StrategyPoints per $1 Rake From Now On

We have some good news for PokerStrategists playing at PartyPoker: every dollar of rake that you generate at our partner room from now on is worth 4.5 StrategyPoints instead of the previous 3.5 StrategyPoints!

From now on, all PokerStrategists with a tracked PartyPoker account will be able to earn more StrategyPoints for playing there. The increase is from 3.5 to 4.5 StrategyPoints/$1 rake and this change is permanent!

More StrategyPoints = more rakeback

This change will have a positive impact for all PokerStrategists playing at PartyPoker. This increase has two main benefits for you:

• You will be able to reach a higher status at PokerStrategy.com quicker than before• You will get increased rakeback from taking part in promotions where PartyPoker is a participating poker room, like the Gemstone Promotion. Also, you now have a better chance to benefit from the Top250 race. For an overview of our VIP offer at PartyPoker, check out our analysis thread.
